Spring Wildflowers Collection

I'm so pleased with the way this photo shoot turned out! Who knew a sprinkler and green umbrella would so make the photos??

Of course there isn't much that wouldn't make this outfit adorable because it is SUPER CUTE! Thanks so much to Darcy for the opportunity to photograph your amazing clothing. Skirt and tops available from the amazingly talented Chew Chew's Closet.

Back to School Essentials

Today I became a cliche... I dropped off my baby girl for her first day of preschool (yeah - I know, not even Kindergarten yet...) and I cried. At least I waited until I was back in the car. She was totally ready - extremely excited and confident. She smiled, gave Mommy a hug, and went to sit on the carpet with the teacher and the other kids. Apparently she is way more well-adjusted than I am... *pat self on the back*

Here are some of my favorite Back-To-School essentials:

Goodbyn Lunchbox

Back-to-school wouldn't be the same without a new lunch box! Julia loves her Goodbyn purple lunchbox (the main website was back-ordered, so I got hers on Amazon), and so do I. It is made in the USA, and is ecofriendly. It is also convenient and fun. The little compartments keep all the foods separated without having to use baggies or little tupperwares that easily get lost. Pick from a multitude of fun colors, and it also comes with many fun stickers so kids can personalize their box.

Boutique Children's Clothing by Chew Chews Closet

Dainty Dollhouses Capri Pant and Halter Twirl Top

I challenge you to find cuter or higher quality children's clothing anywhere than from Darcy at Chew Chew's Closet. I'll admit, I'm a Gymboree addict, and love to spend more on my daughter's wardrobe than I do my own, but NONE of her outfits get more comments, smiles, and compliments than the gorgeous ensembles put together by this designer.

Fairytale Princess Personalized Shirt and Knit Ruffle Capris

Aside from the aesthetic quality, the clothing she makes is also incredibly comfortable. Whenever Julia dresses herself, inevitably she comes out dressed in something made by Darcy. It also wears well, and washes well - very high quality. Become a fan on Facebook - she has great sales too!

Juicy Lemon Apron Dress

Her newest line is for Halloween - and it is ADORABLE. I can't wait for the cool month of October to parade my little spunky witch around! Here she is in the Be-Witched Halloween ensemble:
